Quick Transmigration: Let Me Tell You, I'm a Social Anxiety Person

Chapter 24 After being locked in a dark room by a paranoid and jealous man (24)

Zhao Qi lost two "girlfriends" at the same time.

When Sun Jiayan broke up with him, Zhao Qi agreed readily. His annoying and pretentious clinginess had been bothering him for a long time, and he had been looking for a reason to dump her.

But Wen Ying surprised him.

Although Wen Ying was aloof, her tone of voice was always very gentle, giving people the illusion that she was easy to talk to.

But this time she was very direct, even unilaterally informing Zhao Qi on her phone that after confirming he had received the message, she blocked and deleted him.

Zhao Qi was dumbfounded. He borrowed his friends' numbers and called them one by one, but received no response.

He felt extremely frustrated, not only frustrated but also annoyed. He had spent so much energy and time on Wen Ying, only to end up with nothing.

"Oh, young master has returned to his quarters."

The dormitory door was pushed open, and Ikeno, whom I hadn't seen for several days, walked in.

Ever since Chi Ye generously gifted Zhao Qi an expensive present, the people in the dormitory have been jokingly calling him that.

Ikeno herself did not react to this teasing about her name and went straight to her bed to pack her things.

The people in the dormitory were used to his aloof attitude. In their eyes, the young master was busy with many things, and it was enough that he could take some time to come back to the dormitory to visit and let them copy his homework.

Chi Ye is known as the school's most handsome guy and comes from a wealthy family. It's already an honor that he's willing to live in the dormitory; whether or not they interact is irrelevant.

But Zhao Qi went over to him. Chi Ye had given him a gift, and he was certain that he held a higher position in Chi Ye's heart than anyone else.

"Brother Ye, can I borrow your phone for a second? I need to make a call." Zhao Qi gritted his teeth and paid the 99 yuan for the game server transfer while explaining to Chi Ye, "I'm doing something else right now, so I can't dial a number."

Chi Ye glanced at him indifferently and handed over his phone.

He then sat down on a chair that was already covered in dust, facing the blank wall, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhao Qi didn't notice his reaction. He walked to his seat, entered Wen Ying's number, and after entering the first few digits, the contact list automatically popped up.

Zhao Qi was momentarily surprised that Chi Ye, with his reclusive personality, would save other people's numbers. He glanced at the screen and saw that Chi Ye had even set a profile picture for Wen Ying—a simple line drawing of the moon.

He didn't think too much about it, fearing that Chi Ye would take the phone back if he used it for too long, so he quickly pressed the call button.

The busy tone rang in his ears, dragging on for a long time. Zhao Qi was getting impatient and was about to give up.

Zhao Qi had previously tried calling Wen Ying using a friend's number, but she hadn't answered. He guessed that he would be rejected again this time, since Chi Ye was still in the same dormitory as him.

To his surprise, Wen Ying actually answered the phone.

Although she answered slowly and reluctantly, you could tell from her cold tone into the microphone that she also didn't want to talk to Ikeno.

Wen Ying definitely didn't have a good impression of Chi Ye. Zhao Qi secretly apologized to his "good brother" in his heart, because Chi Ye was disliked because of their close relationship.

"...Why aren't you saying anything?" The long silence prompted Wen Ying to ask the question.

After finally getting through on the phone, Zhao Qi was worried that Wen Ying would hang up on him as soon as he opened his mouth. He was trying to think of something to say to prolong the call, and he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

He felt extremely frustrated, as he always came out on the losing end when he was with Wen Ying, losing face and dignity.

"Did you accidentally press the dial button?" Wen Ying asked again.

Zhao Qi felt that she was about to hang up the phone any second. In his anxiety, his finger accidentally touched the volume button of another phone, and the deafening background music of the game rang out in the room.

Several roommates turned to look, but Chi Ye remained seated, lost in his own world, oblivious to the fact that it was none of his business.

Zhao Qi apologized hastily and tried to turn down the volume, but the more he tried, the more mistakes he made, and he accidentally touched the speakerphone of Chi Ye's phone.

He was still on the phone, and Wen Ying's patience had lasted for a minute and thirty seconds. She asked casually, as if she had just overheard him, "Are you playing a game?"

"Ah, I...I'll take you?" Zhao Qi stammered, still not quite sure what to say.

Suddenly, he heard a "rip" sound behind him, like a chair scraping heavily against the ground. Ikeno stood up and looked in his direction.

He seemed to have originally intended to walk over, but after taking a step, he was restrained by something and could only awkwardly stand stuck in the narrow passageway of the dormitory.

At the same time, a "beep" sounded from the phone, and Wen Ying hung up.

Zhao Qi cursed inwardly and returned the phone.

"Thanks, brother," he said with a heavy heart.

Chino put her phone into her pocket, her expression returning to calm, and asked casually, "You don't seem to be in a good mood."

Zhao Qi scratched his head, puzzled as to why Chi Ye had suddenly decided to inquire about his situation today. However, he felt pleased by the concern shown to him and began to chatter, pulling up a chair to sit down and discussing things with Chi Ye.

"Hey, Yingying wants to break up with me." Zhao Qi said, lighting a cigarette and offering one to Chi Ye, but the latter didn't take it.

He then started puffing on his cigarette, saying, "What do you think this woman is thinking? Everyone says girls need emotional support, but look at how much time I spend on her every day. I reply to her messages instantly and I'm always on the phone, so she can reach me anytime."

Chi Ye listened quietly, watching as Zhao Qi angrily pinched his thigh when he got excited: "At least the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could meet, but she's different. She can't even get a date, she won't let him kiss her, not even let him hold hands..."

"Damn, I don't think I've even held her hand more than a few times." Zhao Qi recalled this with a belly full of bitterness. "What did I do wrong? I'm just a pure and cheerful big boy who wants to experience sweet love."

He covered his face and let out intermittent wails, it was hard to tell whether he was really crying or faking it.

Chi Ye didn't say a word from beginning to end, only pushing Zhao Qi away when he tried to get closer because he was injured.

"..." Zhao Qi was even more hurt. "Why didn't you comfort me?"

Chi Ye replied, "I forgot," and then said in a flat tone, "Congratulations, Wen Ying will meet someone more suitable for her."

Zhao Qi: "..."

Ikeno was very serious; he didn't seem to be joking at all.

But wait a minute.

Zhao Qi: "You've got it backwards, buddy!"
